1933/1934 Vatican City 100 Lire Gold Jubilee Chamberlain Gold Reserve NGC MS62

The Ultimate Numismatic Tribute To Christianity

The second Christian Jubilee of the 20th Century, celebrated from 1933 to 1934, marked a significant moment of spiritual renewal and reflection for believers, emphasizing themes of forgiveness and community. Breaking with a tradition of celebrating the Jubilee every 25 years, The Vatican announced a special Jubilee in 1933–1934 in remembrance of the 1,900th anniversary of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In addition to a series of solemn ceremonies, including special masses, processions, and the granting of indulgences to pilgrims visiting Rome, The Vatican also issued its first gold coin series as a sovereign nation. This specimen is part of that series and features a dramatic image of Jesus that, coupled with the Christian Jubilee, makes it an important numismatic artifact for Christianity.

A Dramatic Image Of A Risen Jesus Christ

The design on this 100 Lire Jubilee coin is a true masterpiece. The handsome obverse and reverse designs used were the work of famed Italian artist Aurelio Mistruzzi (1880–1960). The design depicts a dramatic image of Jesus holding a scepter in his right hand and a globus crucifier in his left. A small child holding a crown can be seen at His feet. The coin’s obverse shows the Papal bust of Pope Pius XI along with the Latin inscription “ANNO IVB,” a reference to “Jubilee Year.” Struck in .2823 ounces of highly pure 90% fine gold, this coin is also the only dual-dated coin in the series with both the 1933 and 1934 year dates. An esteemed sculptor known for his expressive works that often combined classical techniques with modern themes, Mistruzzi left lasting impact on the Italian art scene in the early 20th century. He would go on to produce 330 medals for The Vatican during his career.

Historic Coins From The Chamberlain Gold Reserve Hoard

This coin comes from a spectacular group of around 300 gold Vatican City Jubilee coins that were purchased in Western Europe. Although small quantities of these handsome coins become available from time to time, a hoard of this size is unheard of given that most of these coins are tucked away in private collections. The term “Chamberlain” is a European term often associated with a government or corporate treasurer who manages the household of a monarch or noble. Because of its historic importance, these coins were sent to the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) for certification and grading. The coins available here feature a stunning satiny finish that still has a fresh “skin” on the coin—proof that their surfaces have not been cleaned or altered—a fact that no doubt led to their being graded in Choice Uncirculated Mint State-62 (MS62) condition. Each has been further pedigreed with a Chamberlain Gold Reserve designation.
